Low Treatment Strategy

Fast-acting carbs that actually work:

  • Smarties (don’t melt, pure sugar, especially good for summer and hot cars)

  • Capri Sun (fast + reliable, great for nighttime lows)

  • Juice boxes

  • Lift shots / glucose tabs

  • Fruit snacks

Important mindset shift:

  • Treat lows like medicine, not snacks

  • You don’t always need 15g: Sometimes 5–8g is enough

Pro tip:

  • Keep 3 snack categories available:

    • Fast carbs (lows)

    • Regular snacks (in range)

    • Low/zero carb (for highs)
